I mean they have better conditions and wages than the average ag worker in the US, let alone prison workers. There’s plenty of slavery by another name in this world, but this is a poor example.

Be the change you want to see in the world.
They mean the equivalents of them. Mr Beast got big almost 10 years, and Pewdiepie was relevant almost 20 years ago. 10 years before that, you had Oprah Winfrey and Rush Limbaugh.
Uber would never have gotten venture capital if it didn’t promise a monopoly on taxis.
You can’t map EU vs Russia to left vs right.
The EU is a neoliberal organization, and so is Russia.
no government can tell you you can or cannot use it because they have no power to stop you from doing so
I mean they can kick down your door and seize or hack your PC. That threat is enough to stop most people, making the currency pretty useless in countries that have cracked down on it.
Do not come.
it still wasn’t three years.
Oh no it was closer to 2.5 years than 3.5 years!
Come on, you know this doesn’t refute my point.
Telling them to “fuck off” is meaningless nonsense.
The SCOTUS has no means to enforce its decisions. It knows this and has historically kowtowed to the executive when faced with its own marginalization.
The president literally can just ignore them, as Trump did when they made a ruling he didn’t like such as DACA. There’s some other precedents: https://revealnews.org/blog/a-brief-history-of-presidents-telling-so-called-judges-to-get-lost/
He took an action that took 3 years to complete instead of ending it on day one and telling the courts to fuck off.
That’s keeping it in place for 3 years.
This isn’t misinformation, this is you being intentionally dense.
It doesn’t matter if his excuse was some court he can just ignore and face no consequences asked him to keep it in place or if did it on a whim, he had the power to change it, he didn’t use it. It was in place for like 3 and a half years.
You’re not calling out misinformation, you’re quibbling.
Nobody is talking about the Muslim ban, we’re talking about the more recent attempt to close the mexican border.
But it’s irrelevant, you’re still missing the point.
My point is that Biden’s unpopular actions decrease how many people will vote for him. This is how Biden ensures Trump will come to power.
Trump’s Title 42 and Muslim ban were far worse.
Biden waited 3.5 years to end title 42 and tried to close the border. He has deported more people than Trump.
POTUS has no reasonable control over grocery store prices
He literally does though. But there’s a million other things he could have done when he had control. Instead we just get excuses about how powerless the party controlling both houses and the presidency was because of Manchin or the parliamentarian or the SCOTUS or some rules the dems set for themselves or norms or whatever.
There’s no point in quibbling about whether Biden was less bad than trump, these actions decrease how many people will vote for him. Implementing policy that makes you lose the election is refusing to stand in republican’s way.
We’ve been saying from day one, that if Biden doesn’t move to the left and use every tool at his disposal to improve people’s material conditions, Trump’s going to win in 2024.
Biden didn’t just not go left, he tried to outflank the republicans from the right by facilitating genocide, ending covid protections, and passing the most draconian border bill since like the 40s.
This is the closest thing he could have done to handing Trump the presidency, short of appointing him VP and stepping down.
Yall need to learn some history.
The liberal SDP split with the communists, supporting “centrist” Hindenburg in the name of unity.
The communists campaigned on “A vote for Hindenburg is a vote for Hitler is a vote for war”
Hindenburg won the election, getting more votes than either the communist or fascist candidates.
Hindenburg, the liberal candidate, then proceeded to make Hitler the chancellor and staff positions of power with nazis while purging the government of communists.
The nazis then barely had to do anything to assert complete control.
The nazis didn’t get in power because communists stayed home, they got into power because the liberals would rather work with fascists than communists.
So do something else. Or indicate you will pay them when it is legal to do so. Kapersky’s guy recommended Apple donate the bounty to a charity.
You trusted me? You fucking idiot. -Tim Apple
Is that a falsifiable prediction?
When is it gonna hit? If it goes beyond that period, are you gonna revise your model or insist you were only off by a year, and surely it will collapse next year?
I have zero faith in Russia, but every time someone’s told me <enemy of the west> is about to collapse or overthrow the government because of sanctions, and all evidence to the contrary is fabricated, they’ve been wrong. There’s journalists and economists who’ve spent 30+ years saying that about China, Cuba, and Iran, who still somehow have jobs.
Apple could have tried to work with them and said something like “We’ll pay when the embargo ends”, since now Kapersky has every reason to sell their next apple exploit on the black market.
They’ve just turned a department of people successfully working to make apple more secure into a department of people working to make it less secure.
And the Romani (and g*psy) both refer to the Romani people, so even in this context it’s a slur
Then again
It seems like yes it’s a slur, but it’s also so widespread it’s hard to avoid using it.
